The Porter County Election Board held campaign finance report hearings Thursday afternoon in an attempt to hold candidates accountable for failure to submit their campaign finance reports in a timely manner, correct identified errors, and/or pay related fines.
Candidates Mike Wallace, Amy Arney, Hannah Trueblood, Drew Wenger, and Jennifer McHargue all had issues with their pre-primary reports. McHargue, who is running as a Democrat for an at-large seat on the Burns Harbor Town Council, was the only one who showed up in person.“I guess I didn’t know my form was wrong. Our mail was held because we were on vacation. I called right away,” she said upon receiving notice that her form had not been turned in on time by April 4.
Campaign finance reports are required three times a year, according to Porter County Election Board attorney Monica Conrad. Pre-primary election reports are filed in April, pre-general election reports are filed in October and annual reports are filed in January. They subsequently have $20 and $100 fines respectively and were required to show up in person at the hearing, but were both absent. Wallace, an uncontested Democratic candidate for Hebron Town Council District 2, has not submitted his form at all, and now owes a $100 fine.
